Kenney Lives Like a Gambler
Niveau 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Ren Lin opened to 18,000 from under the gun and Bryn Kenney was next to act and in the tank.
"This one's for you Christoph,", said Kenney before moving all in for 34,000.
The action folded back around to Lin who quickly called. Christoph Vogelsang was the shortest stack and sweating the bubble but Kenney took some of that pressure off.
"Live like a gamber, die like a gambler," joked Kenney as he awaited the other tables to finish their hands.
After close to a minute of wait, the tournament director allowed the cards to be turned over.

Ren Lin: 
Kenney found himself in a great situation and when the board ran out 
, it was the better queen for Kenney that scored the pot and full double up to stay alive.
